GLEARMONT V. BEST, OF CANTON OHIO.

VAPOR-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming To all whom, it may concern Be it known that I, OLEARMONT V. BEST, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ganton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vapor-Burners; and I do hereby declare that the following is 'a full, clear, and ex act description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and the letters and figures of referencemarked thereon.

Figure l of the drawings is a perspective View of a vapor-burner constructed in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2, a sectional View of the same; and Fig. 3, an elevation of the reverse side of Fig. 2, partly in section.

The present invention has relation to certain new and useful improvements in vaporburners; and the object thereof is to provide a sub-j et in connection with an angular heating-plate, whereby a more perfect vaporization is obtained, with a greater intensity of heat, thus rendering the burner more effective in its purpose and the flame of increased brilliancy, thereby producing aburner of superior illuminating power with economy of the gasoline or other burning-fluid. These objects I attain by the construction of the burner shown in the drawings, and hereinafter described, and specifically pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the burner-tube, which constitutes the mixing-chamber, and on a line directly under the lower end of said tube is an extension, a, provided with a central screw-threaded hole into which is inserted the usual needle-point, b, the tube at its upper end having fitted thereon the burner-tip c. The tube A, near its top,

communicates with an inclined passage, (2, extending outward at an acute angle to the burner-tube and in a direction toward the inclined or angular heating-plate 13, thus forming asubjet near the top of the tube or mixing-chamber, which impinges against the heating-plate directly back of the chamber 0, thereby pro- (No model.)

ducing increased heat, the jet extending over the entire inner surface of the plate. The chamber 0 may be provided with a piece of wire-gauze, and also supplied with cotton wicking, the chamber having interior screwthreads for connecting thereto the screwthreadedcnd of a supply-pipe, C. The heating-jet as it issues from the passage d is carried above the mixing-chamber or tube A to about the" level of the burner-tip c in an angular direction, and then is deflected back far enough so as not to interfere with the illuminating-jet from the heat of the sub-jet. A passage, f, extends under the heating-plate B, thence downwardly along the mixing-chamber or tube A, and afterward horizontally to the needlepoint-b. The extension a at its lower end is screwthreaded for attaching thereto the usual plate or cup, D. The heating-plate B has corner side extensions, 9, to confine the flame or heating-jet and prevent it from coming above the angular heatingplate at the corners.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, with the angular heating-plate B, of the inclined passage cl, coinmunicating with the mixing-chamber, near the upper end, to form a subjet, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The angular heating-plate 13 provided with corner side extensions, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

3. The angular heating-plate B and inclined passage (1, in combination with the passage f, having its upper portion extending along the under side of said angular heating-plate, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
